When Community Versus was officially cancelled, the "final episode" was put up on the same day that Tyler already said he would put up the next Wind Waker HD music video. Said music video went up several hours later, and this caused some fans to get angry about the video "stealing Dmax's spotlight" (as Dmax was the one hosting Community Versus and the finale marked his departure from the Versus channel). Other people remarked how those people were overreacting, seeing as the Community Versus finale wasn't being taken down and the music video had already been promised to go up that day.

It got worse when one of Dmax's friends posted an image of Dmax's reaction (warning: explicit language), along with explaining that Tyler had apparently been holding on to the finale for months and not put it out for reasons not stated. In the end, both sides ended up looking pretty bad, Tyler due to his silence on the issue and poor scheduling and Dmax for his... less than calm reaction.

Josh's laugh is either beloved or annoying to listen to.

Crosses the Line Twice: Tyler's pretty out of control through the whole thing, and Josh also has his fun at times.

The last episode of Sunshine Versus 2 has an extended version of its intro. AttackingTucans isn't a bad rapper, we learn.

While audience reaction has usually been mixed when it comes to the parody songs Tyler creates for the Wind Waker Versus, general consensus is that the cover of Thrift Shop is this trope. Even Josh comments to this effect in one episode.

A light, non-hostile example, and it's invoked. Viewers are told to be on "Team AttackingTucans" or "Team JoshJepson" at the end of the first episode, and not to switch afterward. Then there's "TeamChuggaaconroy".

A less lighthearted example: after the Community Versus issue mentioned under Broken Base, we now have people siding with Versus and considering Dmax (along with his various friends trying to defend him) to be an enemy, while some are with Dmax and have more or less departed Versus. After some time, with Dmax and the others seeming hostile towards Versus, they appear to be mostly patched up, with them having amicable interactions on livestreams and in comment sections.

In episode 2 of Luigi's Mansion Versus, he tricks Josh into thinking that the Golden Mouse only has a 20% chance of appearing in Madame Clairvoya's room.

In Episode 5 of Galaxy Versus, Tyler tricks Donna into using the lifeline Starbit Blowoutnote the opponent must waste 250 of their starbits when he only has 79 starbits. And all of this after declaring that you can use both of your lifeline chances at once.

In the last few episodes of Galaxy 2 Versus, Tyler messes up by forgetting to collect the Comet Medal in Boss Blitz Galaxy, forcing him to redo the level (which is pretty long). But instead of raging like he wants to, he deliberately stays quiet about it in the hope that Josh will also forget the Medal and redo the level. And it works.

During Pokémon Fire Red Versus, he forces Luke to drop his Master Ball in front of Articuno.

NintendoCapriSun for "Megaman Versus": Seeing as how Tyler's previous opponents were all either vulgar or energetic, the calm and quiet Tim was quite the surprise.

ProtonJon for "Super Mario 64 4-Way Versus": Previous guests have shown to be good friends of both Tyler and Josh, but to the public, Jon hasn't interacted with them outside of The Runaway Guys projects (and, in Josh's case, their Tri Force Heroes playing with Tom Fawkes). Not to mention his personality is vastly different from the usual Versus fare.

When a 2-on-2 versus for Subspace Emissary was announced, and Tyler's partner was his roommate Squillistipated, people expected Josh's partner to be his wife Brooke or another friend of his. Brutalmoose came basically out of nowhere.

Hilarious in Hindsight: In Episode 5, Tyler made an impassioned rant about the Wii U, berating everyone who said the console was doomed to fail and insisting its sales would get much better once some high-quality games actually came out for it. This was later proven wrong, as even after severalhighlyanticipatedtitles were released, the Wii U had still sold by far the least units of any of Nintendo's home consoles note not counting 1977's Color TV-Game.

Ocarina of Time Versus

They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Averted, the different format has been generally well-received, especially with Tyler and Josh's justifications for it.

Jerkass Woobie: Josh is this in Part 14. The way he acts in the episode especially to Tyler who was winning (who lampshades this fact since he wasn't acting upset before) ...but then he dies to Twinrova and the way he just says "I got a Game Over..." sounds like his will to go on got shattered... and then Tyler starts gloating about it

Banjo Kazooie Versus

Broken Base: Not actually in the versus itself, but related to it; in the comments of the Super Smash Bros. Melee - Classic Mode Versus, Josh posted a comment seemingly raging at the people who kept complaining about Banjo Kazooie Versus's lack of consistent updates, bringing up how he was trying to take a break and spend time with family. This caused several fans to reply, showing displeasure at him "showing [his] true colors" and referring to the complaining fans as "fucking annoying", saying that the fans were just curious and not trying to be annoying. Other fans replied with laughter, taking it all as a snarky joke (which makes sense coming from Josh, though obviously if it's a joke, it doesn't come across too well in text). Still more fans replied to those on either of the aforementioned sides, starting arguments about how the other side was true.

Hilarious in Hindsight: In Episode 10, they jokingly have the idea to do Banjo-Kazooie Versus in the first place. Then they decide that if they want to play games competitively, they should play Super Mario Sunshine again (before employing kayfabe to say they hadn't done a Versus series of the game). Later that year, they would actually have a Mario Sunshine rematch.

Broken Base: Tyler's victory was soured by the fact that he missed a star coin in the final level, breaking one of the main rules they put in place. They talked about it later and decided the winner would get to keep his title, making the fans absolutely berserk, accusing the winner of cheating and breaking the rules. This even continued well into the loser's challenge, to the point " Tyler didn't win" was almost a Madness Mantra.

Tyler just makes screw-up after screw-up in the finale, and as a result loses the Versus by less than a minute. Especially bad is when he accidentally jumps off the rafters before the final battle and has to climb back up.

Josh, in Episode 9 (The Savage Labyrinth), had accidentally went into the light that takes him back to the entrance, meaning he had to go through the whole thing again, so Tyler paused the game so he could catch up. Later in the episode, he does it again.

For the film:

Complete Monster: The Big Bad of this splatter movie is an unnamed necromancer who seeks the power of the Forest of Resurrection. In his first attempt to obtain the power, he kills his own brother, Prisoner KSC2-303 and a female seer. For 400 years, he bides his time and waits for his nemeses to reincarnate so he use them in his plans. He eventually becomes a Yakuza boss, credited as "The Man", who buries all the people he kills so he can use them as his attack force. By the time of the film's events, he's killed enough people to form a small army. He ends up luring his reincarnated brother into the Forest, killing a lot of his goons in the process. It is eventually revealed that the plan is to kill his brother, have the girl resurrect him, kill him again and use the resurrected blood to open the 444th portal to the afterlife and Take Over the World. He fails, but continues his quest so obsessively that he destroys civilization.

Crosses the Line Twice: A cop missing his right hand? Gruesome. Ordering the guy who cut it off to give it back? Moderately funny. Complaining when the hand he gets turns out to be a left hand? Hilarious.

Ho Yay: After shooting one of the other yakuza, the yakuza with the glasses (played by Kazuhito Ohba) gets a very suggestive hug from Kenji Matsuda's character. While Ohba's character was visibly disturbed over the shooting, Matsuda's was a notably uncaring character, mocking, shooting and slicing up their other companions for kicks. The tender way he speaks to Ohba at that point comes as quite a surprise to the viewer, who by then is more used to his sarcastically cold way of speaking.

So Bad, It's Good: The movie is like this as far as its acting, plot, and setting go. The action scenes, however, are spectacular. Another hallmark of it being So Bad, It's Good is that the commentary features the director, the producer, and three of the actors, and they were probably all drunk when they recorded it. Japanese B movies seem to have an incredible ability to take a really silly premise, fill it with gore then play everything without a hint of irony.

Special Effect Failure: The film has a few scenes that fall under this trope, such as The Man's decapitation. Thankfully and fortunately rectified in The Ultimate Versus.
